High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 338 Crossing the Tribulation is Easier Than Drinking Water

……

Followed by.

The Five Signs of Decay for Devas and Humans!

An aura of decay and decay descended, attempting to strip Lin Hanzhou of his life force, causing his body to rot and his soul to wither.

As a result, the vast and powerful life force within Lin Hanzhou's body, like a boundless ocean, washed away the decaying energy completely.

Red Lotus Karmic Fire Calamity!

Terrifying karmic fire ignited from the void, threatening to consume his sins.

Lin Hanzhou opened his mouth and inhaled directly, sucking the karmic fire into his stomach like drinking soup, then burped: "It's a bit hot, and the taste is so-so."

……

Thus, eight deadly calamities, enough to make ordinary eighth-level cultivators tremble with fear and face a near-death experience.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they took turns attacking, and then... they were all wiped out.

This scene is truly bizarre.

If we compare transcending tribulation to an exam.

Ordinary monks are doing "hellish math problems," scratching their heads and racking their brains, trying their best just to pass.

At this moment, Lin Hanzhou...

It's like a top student with a doctorate, or even an omniscient professor, suddenly coming back to do "first-grade elementary school math problems".

What does 1 + 1 equal?

Does this even need to be thought about?

You could write a perfect answer with your eyes closed!

This kind of tribulation-crossing, which is like a dimensional reduction attack, makes the whole process tedious and boring, and even a little ridiculous.

Finally, the last calamity dissipated.

The strange phenomenon in the void slowly faded away, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Lin Hanzhou's aura finally stopped rising and stabilized at an extremely terrifying level.

Eighth Rank, Tenth Level!

"call……"

Lin Hanzhou slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

He stood up, feeling the vast, boundless, and terrifying power within his body.

"Is this... the tenth level of the eighth rank?"

Lin Hanzhou clenched his fist, feeling the spatial vibrations emanating from his fingertips.

Strong.

It is really strong.

Compared to his previous eighth-tier, third-level state, he has now experienced a massive increase in the total amount of world power, physical strength, and divine soul power.

But the excitement in Lin Hanzhou's eyes didn't last long.

Instead, a faint sense of disappointment lingered.

"What a pity..."

He shook his head, somewhat disheartened.

"Having experienced driving a Ferrari, when I came back to drive this modified Wuling Hongguang, no matter how powerful it is, it just didn't feel right."

This is not Versailles, but the truth.

Although the eighth rank and tenth level are strong, they are still ultimately the eighth rank.

Compared to the terrifying power of a ninth-tier Demon Emperor, there is still a fundamental difference.

"Right now, if I don't use the Demon Emperor transformation, when I encounter a ninth-rank Duanmu Hong, I'm afraid I'll go from being 'instantly killed' to being 'instantly killed by a single glance'."

"To truly possess the ability to contend with a ninth-tier opponent, the only way is... to break through to the ninth tier!"

With this in mind, Lin Hanzhou immediately composed himself and began to attempt the next step of his cultivation.

From the eighth rank and tenth level to the ninth rank, there is a chasm called "Dao Mark" between them.

The so-called ninth level is to comprehend one's own "Dao" to the extreme, condense a complete "Dao trace" in one's body, and thus invoke the laws of heaven and earth to bless oneself.

Demons have demonic markings, and humans have Daoist traces; though their paths differ, they ultimately arrive at the same destination.

"I just personally experienced Duanmu Hong's spatial blockade and even tore through space with my own hands."

"You should have gained some understanding of the Dao of Space by now, right?"

Lin Hanzhou closed his eyes, trying to capture the residual spatial fluctuations in his mind, hoping to take this opportunity to condense his first "spatial Dao mark" within his body.

If he succeeds, he will have one foot in the door of the ninth level.

Time passed by, second by second.

ten minutes.

half an hour.

One hour.

Lin Hanzhou's brows furrowed more and more, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

Until the day had passed.

"Grass!"

Lin Hanzhou suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help but swear.

Clearly, he failed, utterly and completely.

No matter how hard he tried to comprehend it, the so-called "spatial traces" were like flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water—visible but untouchable.

Whenever he thought he had grasped a spark of inspiration and was about to bring it to life, it would vanish in an instant.

"It seems my comprehension is still a bit low."

Lin Hanzhou reluctantly acknowledged this fact.

Although he has a system, his inherent talent is not actually top-notch.

I've gotten this far entirely thanks to the talent the system provided.

For him, the "enlightenment" process, which requires extremely high comprehension and is mysterious and profound, was simply torture.

"Unless I can trigger that [Golden Legend] level enlightenment talent again, I probably won't be able to refine my first Dao mark."

Lin Hanzhou sighed.

However, he is not someone who gives up easily.

Since conventional methods don't work, let's just spend money!

"system!"

Lin Hanzhou opened the system panel again.

Although the breakthrough just now consumed a lot of cultivation feedback, the amount of cultivation feedback this time was simply too abundant.

His system pool still contains a considerable amount of cultivation feedback reserves.

Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but wonder if this cultivation feedback could be applied to polishing the Dao traces.

Logically speaking, the feedback from cultivation should be added to the Dao trace.

After all, Dao traces are part of cultivation, so there's no reason why cultivation feedback shouldn't be used to refine Dao traces.

"System, use all remaining cultivation points to condense spatial Dao traces!"

However, the next second, a cold system notification sounded.

【Ding! 】

Operation failed.

[Warning: The number of "Spatial Dao Marks" within the host's body is currently 0.]

[System Prompt: Cultivation feedback can be used to increase the number of existing Dao Traces, but it cannot create Dao Traces "from 0 to 1" out of thin air.]

[Please allow the host to first comprehend and condense the first basic Dao trace before using cultivation feedback.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Lin Hanzhou couldn't help but smile slightly.

Just as he had expected, the feedback from his cultivation could indeed be used to refine his Dao traces.

Although, this requires him to refine the first Dao mark before he can use cultivation feedback.

But this undoubtedly provides him with an additional means to hone his Dao traces, and also ensures that the golden talent of Backstab will not be useless in the future.

At the same time, this will make the process of polishing the Dao marks much easier for him in the future.
